An urban explorer visited the haunting remains of two abandoned Japanese theme parks.

Lukka Bradburn, 28, gained access to the sites while exploring the nearby ghost towns left behind after the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011 - and found an entire derelict colonial American town area with hotels, churches and restaurants.

Western Village theme park near Nikkō, Tochigi, closed in 2007 but there is still a vast, empty landscape reminiscent of 1800s America.

Opened in 1973, it was inspired by classic American and Italian Western movies but closed because of competition from Tokyo Disneyland.

Lukka discovered a replica of Mount Rushmore still intact, along with saloon bars and a

stadium where crowds once watched jousting and other sports.

The site is littered with mannequins depicting life in 'Wild West' America.

The gift shop was boarded-up and heavily damaged but Lukka managed to find a prop gun on the floor and an arcade with all the original machines.
